Edible, medicinal, and native plants for the Pacific Northwest

We've spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now it's time to sell our property so that we can begin a new homesteading project closer to our best friends and their kids.

Arnica chamissonis

Habit:

Ecological Role:

Availability:

This arnica is native to western North America and is as potent as Arnica montana. It is a low growing, slowly spreading herbaceous perennial that prefers full sun to part shade and slightly acidic soil with some summer moisture. The yellow daisy-like flowers which bloom in spring are dried and extracted in oil or alcohol. Arnica oil applied to the skin stimulates circulation to help with stiffness, sprains, and bruising.
